Again: I am not looking for US intervention. I am looking for an end to US intervention.
The Honduran right only holds the power that it does thanks to decades of military, financial and propaganda support from the USA.
Well I wouldn’t know that from the number of times the people you are quoting say “Obama first supported” or “blood is on (Hillary) Clinton’s hands.” Doesn’t really speak to the US influence in Honduras so much as blaming the US for preventing Zelaya from returning safely, which is where Obama and Clinton get blamed.
As for US military training and funding stopping, it should stop because Honduras has what it needs. Honduras is also a victim not of the US military expansion and domination in the modern era, but of the late-stage effects of the war on drugs that have allowed the cartels to become militaristic and find some of the most dangerous brutal groups in the world. It’s also what the military training and support the US has given is for, and the US involvement has driven them from Honduras (into the surrounding countries, so not really a global win). Saying the US should never have done this puts Honduras in an even worse position. Drug cartels are also the “bad guy” the right uses to justify their increased use of military and maintain the support of the people - and it is also ironic because the progressives were a lot more successful removing the cartels and keeping them away with US support.
So while many of the problems Honduras is facing is because of the US, I cannot agree with your conclusion.
Politics really hasn’t changed that much.

We’re all fallible.
Did you have a particular alternate interpretation of Tribe in mind?
The critics of Tribe are not reading his tweet in the way he intended it, but that’s deliberate; the critics are using his tweet as emblematic of a wider issue and underlying attitudes.
The Jamaican uprising that followed the Haitian revolution:
Haiti ended the trans-Atlantic trade, Jamaica (eventually) finished off British Caribbean slavery.
